Previously, the only DVD release of
Welcome Back, Kotter was a 6-episode "Television Favorites" disc that was a Best Buy exclusive throughout most of 2006, and in early 2006 finally "went wide" and

Warner Brothers is planning to announce the
June 12th ship date for
Welcome Back, Kotter - The Complete 1st Season. It will contain all 22 episodes starring Gabe Kaplan (who co-created the show) and John Travolta. Also on board this release are extras that include a brand new featurette looking back at the show, plus screen tests of the cast. Cost will be just $29.98 SRP!
